Pain or 'tane

I didn't want to hijack the other hijack ...so I'm hittin ya with some knowledge.

Quote

The second line of the second verse has generated considerable confusion, and can be considered a type of mondegreen. Listeners have variously interpreted it as “pumped a lot of pain” and “pumped a lot of ’pane”, referring to propane, which is commonly used as a fuel. The controversy was further fueled by Ike & Tina Turner’s cover, in which Tina sings “pumped a lot of ’tane,” referring to octane, the grading scale and chemical in gasoline. The author, Fogerty, finally laid the confusion to rest, saying, “Sometimes I write words to songs because they sound cool to sing. Sometimes the listener doesn’t understand what I’m singing because I’m dedicated to singing the vowel, having fun with the word sounds coming out of my mouth. ‘Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,’ is a good example. I think Tina Turner sang '`tane' instead of 'pain,' as in a contracted form of 'octane'. But I knew what she meant.”

So there you both win.

Yes, the pages and pages and pages and pages upon FUCKING PAGES suggests that this statement...is eh hem..

..unless you're referring to the fact that you continuously swat, flail, get pissed, deny it, release another fuck filled tirade and then claim you do it for fun... then okay... I get it.
